Diamonds might be the traditional choice for engagement rings, but they’re far from your only option. From the rich look of garnet rings to the vibrant sparkle of pink topaz, an array of unique gemstones adorn Apples of Gold’s collection of engagement rings, providing the perfect piece for every far-from-ordinary bride.

Garnet is an unexpected but stunning choice for engagement rings. The deep red of this semiprecious gemstone is a natural symbol of love, and pieces that feature heart-shaped garnets play off of this connection to affection. For instance, the Vintage Filigree Garnet Heart Ring in 14K White Gold places a centimeter-high scarlet heart within a Victorian setting that emulates romance.

Tanzanite rings feature a stone that’s found only in one small area of the world, just five miles square. This sense of exclusivity makes them ideal symbols of the love that you feel only for your special someone. For instance, three alluring oval-shaped tanzanite stones are accented with six channel-set diamonds in the Three Stone Tanzanite and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold, creating a look with a sense of rare beauty

Green amethyst is another out-of the ordinary stone that’s perfect for representing a love like no other. Its refreshing light green color is both full of life and mesmerizingly soothing, perfect for the one who makes you come alive and who sets your heart at ease. The Sea-Foam Green Amethyst and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold showcases a 2.80 carat oval green amethyst, framed by diamonds and set on a diamond studded band. This straightforward but stunning style is fit for a fairytale.

Smokey topaz is a modern yet timeless gemstone. Its soft taupe sparkle is supremely sophisticated and incredibly versatile, making it ideal for expressing lasting love. The 1.75 Carat Oval Cut Smokey Quartz & Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold demonstrates this unique gem’s upscale beauty with a gently glimmering oval-shaped stone, accented by four small diamonds. Rings such as this speak of a love that’s mature and poised to endure for a lifetime.

If you’re looking for an engagement ring without a hint of shyness, don’t miss Apples of Gold’s pink topaz rings. While the bright hue of the stones in these rings isn’t the first color to come to mind when most of us picture topaz, it’s a surprising pop of color that’s sure to bring smiles as well as admiring glances. The Vintage Leaf Pink Topaz Ring in 14K White Gold beautifully features this bold yet feminine stone. A delicately engraved leaf motif adorns the slender band of this time-honored-style, and when it’s viewed from the side it reveals a surprise: a heart-shaped cutout beneath the gemstone, adding a secret symbol of your love that only the wearer will see. While this ring is inspired by the past, the stone it contains is an up-to-the minute burst of lighthearted, ladylike charm.

Unique gemstones are perfect engagement ring options for one-of-a-kind brides! Choose a style with an unusual stone to demonstrate that your love is anything but ordinary.
